This review concludes our Camino de Santiago saga. After our Finisterre/Muxía excursion, our last…read moremeal in Galicia would be at A Noiesa. For our party of seven, we had to split into two groups so we could be seated with minimal wait. Alcachofas Crocantes Con Labras De Xamón Ibérico - Sometimes we had to order a veggie dish and it becomes an easy choice when there's meat involved. Can't go wrong here with the Iberian ham. The crispness of the artichokes was amazing. Fideos Negros De Sepia Da Ría Con Alioli - This was our first time having fideo and we were glad they had the squid ink variety on their menu. I would have preferred it to be a bit drier, but it was enjoyable nonetheless. It had plenty of cuttlefish and green peas and a nice dollop of aioli. Zamburiñas Á Prancha - These were the biggest scallops that we've had all week. They were grilled and torched at the top for an even better char flavor. Solombo De Vaca Premium (200 grams) Con Verduriñas Salteadas E Patacas - A 7-oz. cut of their premium beef tenderloin, grilled medium, and lightly sprinkled with coarse salt. Very soft and tasty that made it a sin having to split the meat four ways. It was served with sautéed vegetables and potatoes. Entrecosto De Vaca Premium (300 grams) Con Verduriñas Salteadas E Patacas - A bigger cut of their premium beef sirloin and came with sautéed vegetables and potatoes also. It came out precut into bite-sized slices so it was easier to share. It was perfectly grilled too, but the texture of the solombo got my vote. Food this good was the fitting end to our once-in-a-lifetime accomplishment. The mom-owner was very kind and accommodating which made our final Galician meal even better. Our group of seven had to part ways early the next day so we said our goodbyes after dinner. It was Lisbon and Porto for the others while my wife and I were headed to the Andalusian region.

With table service, you can order from any of the vendors, and after starting with a basket of crusty bread, we had the Pulpo a la Plancha from Casa Maria. This was a whole grilled octopus tentacle served over turnip greens and boiled potato, all dressed with paprika oil. We also had the rice of the day from Le Petit Tamboril, which was a paella of rice boiled in a yellow seafood broth along with chunks of shrimp and calamari. The rice had a deep, umami, seafood flavor from the broth and perfectly crispy, caramelized bits (socarrat) on the bottom of the pan. Everything here came at a great value, and the lively, hip atmosphere made for a fun place to dine!

There are a lot of places to eat near the Cathedral, so we wandered around a bit. Finally, a very hungry Gayle stated that we should just pick someplace, which ended up to be Casa Camilo. When dining within a small plaza, we learned that there are usually more than 1 restaurant with outside tables there, and paying attention to whose belong to who is important. We also took notice of who had the empty tables. After a little hit and miss, we finally matched up our nice table to Casa Camilo, which was doing a brisk business, and had a few good seating options left. First, there was a bit of sticker shock. Starting in Ferol and walking through villages and small cities, our Spanish lunches (including a full bottle of wine) where relatively cheap. Now were were in the big city, and the prices followed accordingly. Yet our meal was a very welcome stop for these 2 "parched and famished" Pellegrinos. Aside from our general intent to eat Galician (e.g. seafood) while here (and usually squid being one of our choices), I can't remember what we ordered, nor did I take any pictures. All Gayle and I remember was that our meal was very good (but not "Wow"), that we had a nice time together, the service was attentive, and we left happy and not too full.

Great service, awesome atmosphere, and delicious food. We love Spain, and the cuisine is one of the top 3 reasons.

Scallops for my wife and pork and fries for me. Wonderful! If you walk the Camino and are looking for a delicious restaurant to celebrate, give L 'Incontro a try. You'll love it!

This is where my Spain culinary journey ended. I spent 9…read morenights between Barcelona, Madrid and Santiago de Compostela and was able to get a reservation to do 8 menu tastings. I ended up getting in to another one unscheduled so it became a total of 9. This was hands down the best one of all 9. All around. From where they seated me which was right in front of the kitchen where I got to watch the whole team prepare everything. To ALL the wine I indeed up downing. To how beyond delicious every dish that came out was - and there was a total of 8, 6 food and 2 desserts. The experience starts with a refreshing mocktail paired with a spoon of whatever that was that opened up my palate and got me ready for what was ahead of me. After the soup was the tastiest oyster I've ever had in my life. It was so tasty and perfectly seasoned. I loved every bite of every single plate that got dropped off. Don't even get me started on their brioche. It was so good I got another piece. The gambitas was super delicate it practically melted in your mouth. The next two dishes were so bomb that I was so full by the time we got to the chicken. After that were the two desserts. The service was above and beyond. From the moment I sat down, to the in between dishes where someone comes by to clean up your area or checks in to make sure everything was going well, to my exit- the whole staff were so accommodating. The sommelier took such great care of me. He was challenged after I specifically asked to only be given Spanish wine. Chef Marcelo takes the time to speak to every diner. He made sure to check in here and there and he sends you off at the end of your meal. Truly, one of the best experiences. I can't wait to come back to see what other dishes Chef Marcelo has come up with.
